One such incident involves Kelly Roofing, RC's 2019 Residential Contractor of the Year, helping a retired widow who was battling roof leaks on her mobile home. With additions to the home, including an expanded living space, a carport, and a utility room, the sections were prone to leaks. Roofer after roofer had been called in to stop the leaks, with thousands of dollars spent to fix the problem. Finally, the owner turned to Kelly in her continuing effort to have a leak-free roof.

Kelly Roofing was able to install Duro-Last's roofing system, including the new DLX™ membrane. This system is a monolithic (single) membrane, which is seamed together into one piece so there are no joints when it's installed. What is unique about this system is how it's strong enough to bridge the gaps between all the sections of the home, so there is one solid roof system across the whole structure instead of multiple sections which are prone to develop leaks at meeting points. In addition, this roll good membrane comes custom cut to length from Duro-Last, which eliminates wasted product.

The Duro-Last system isn't a coating, which will dry out and crack with time. It's a PVC membrane system that is proven strong enough to protect industrial buildings, schools, shopping malls, etc., but also versatile enough to provide solutions for a variety of unique needs typically found in residential applications. From big roofs to small, pitched or flat, even difficult flashings and tie-ins, Duro-Last Roofing Systems perform beautifully.

Kelly Roofing took two days to install this roof and now the homeowner has no leaks, a 20-year warranty, and hurricane protection. It was even completed under budget.

"It is our goal to help any building or home owner with their roof so they never have to worry about it again," said Ken Kelly, president of Kelly Roofing. "Having access to the great roofing solutions like Duro-Last's new membrane, DLX, helps us provide quality, cost-effective solutions for our customers. What is better than that? Being honored with this award is simply the icing on the cake."
